☆ Amazon, Microsoft, and Google say cloud cost-cutting is waning. Customers say cost controls are still a major barrier.

The major cloud service providers are saying their customers are winding down last year's optimization efforts. While the optimization outlook from the cloud service providers is rosy, it doesn't quite match what customers are reporting. Google Cloud revenue grew 26% year-over-year, up from the quarter before. Customers and cloud companies tell a different storyExecutives at all three major cloud companies said that the impact of cloud cost-cutting was behind them. 35% reported cloud cost overruns in the last 12 months, nearly half of which were over $100,000 or $500,000.

☆ Oregon High Court Says 10 GOP State Senators Who Staged Long Walkout Can’t Run for Reelection

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The Oregon Supreme Court said Thursday that 10 Republican state senators who staged a record-long walkout last year to stall bills on abortion, transgender health care and gun rights cannot run for reelection. The decision upholds the secretary of state’s decision to disqualify the senators from the ballot under a voter-approved measure aimed at stopping such boycotts. Measure 113, passed by voters in 2022, amended the state constitution to bar lawmakers from reelection if they have more than 10 unexcused absences. The senators’ lawsuit was filed against Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade, who last August said the boycotting senators were disqualified from seeking reelection. Oregon voters approved Measure 113 by a wide margin following Republican walkouts in the Legislature in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

☆ Amazon's cloud sees growth rates slow from 'optimization' as customers keep cutting costs

Either way, one thing is certain: Companies are getting serious about cloud spend. And while Wall Street analysts hope the excitement over generative AI will drive customers to spend more money on cloud services next year, it's clear that optimization won't go away. "Cloud spend got big enough at most of the Fortune 500s that it's actually material now," Storment said. Cloud cost-cutting servicesTo save money on cloud services, customers often must first spend money. Customers aren't spending much on generative AI yetEven though "generative AI is the new sexy thing that everyone is exploring," the technology didn't come up in many conversations about budget, Lowell said.

☆ Oregon Supreme Court to Decide if GOP Senators Who Boycotted Legislature Can Run for Reelection
  + stars: | 2023-10-25 | by ( Associated Press | Oct. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +2 min
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The Oregon Supreme Court will decide whether Republican state senators who carried out a record-setting GOP walkout during the legislative session this year can run for reelection. The senators from the minority party are challenging a 2022 voter-approved constitutional amendment that bars state lawmakers from reelection after having 10 or more unexcused absences. Oregon voters overwhelmingly approved the ballot measure that created the amendment following Republican walkouts in the Legislature in 2019, 2020 and 2021. The senators filed the challenge in the Oregon Court of Appeals but asked that it go directly to the state Supreme Court. Several state senators with at least 10 absences during the most recent legislative session have already filed candidacy papers with election authorities.

☆ Oregon Senators Face Re-election Ban After Prolonged Boycott
  + stars: | 2023-05-16 | by ( Mike Baker | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The NewsFrustrated, powerless and with little hope of regaining significant influence anytime soon, Republican lawmakers in Oregon have in recent years turned repeatedly to a disruptive tactic: boycotting their own legislature. It has been so disruptive that voters altered the Constitution last year to punish those who were repeatedly absent by barring them from re-election. But now, as the legislature debates contentious bills over abortion and transgender rights, some lawmakers are boycotting once again. This week, in the first significant test of the new law, three state senators reached the legal threshold of 10 unexcused absences. There are no term limits in the legislature, but some senators are facing re-election campaigns as soon as next year.
☆ Idaho lawmakers are seriously considering absorbing Oregon's conservative rural counties if they can secede from the blue state

The Greater Idaho movement seeks to redraw state boundaries so rural Oregon can join Idaho. Moving the state boundary would require the approval of Oregon, Idaho, and the US Congress. Matt McCaw, a spokeperson for the group behind the Greater Idaho movement, told Insider they were confident the bill would pass Idaho's Senate in the coming weeks as well. McCaw said the Greater Idaho proposal would be a solution to the "longstanding problem" of the urban-rural divide. Proponents of Greater Idaho have said their plan is a way to avoid conflict, but it's unclear the impact moving the border would actually have.
